Supporting you through the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

Welcome to Maternal You, and thank you for visiting. I’m Helen, and I founded Maternal You after the birth of my two children. Becoming a mother was an experience unlike any other—one that, in hindsight, I wasn’t fully prepared for. At times, it may seem like you’re navigating it alone, both physically and emotionally, throughout pregnancy and in the weeks and months that follow. This realisation inspired me to support other mothers through what is arguably one of the most transformative and incredible transitions of their lives. I experienced a gap in postnatal care which often left me feeling upset, questioning my decisions as a mother, and isolated and I don’t want other mothers to go through the same experience.

Mothers should feel encouraged to trust their instincts, be equipped with the knowledge to support them in their decisions, and have the support around them when they need it. And this is why Maternal You was set up, to do just that. My mission is to support you.

Wherever you are in your parenting journey, I’m here to support you if you need it. Whether it’s postnatal doula care you’re looking for because you feel like your baby just isn’t sleeping like the books are telling you they will, or breastfeeding support because it’s hurting to feed, I’m here for you. You’re not alone.

I can support you with evidence-based information and signpost to resources that will help you on your way to trusting your decisions.

I’ve also learnt how the connection between mind and body has a significant impact on how you’re feeling, which is why I also encourage the use of simple relaxation and self-care techniques that put you back in the driving seat of feeling calm and confident, especially on the days when it doesn’t feel that way.

I trained to be a Doula through the Nurturing Birth School (Doula UK approved), and as a Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioner through the Mindful Breastfeeding School led by Anna Le Grange, IBCLC certified.

My website provides an overview of what I offer, but all my services are tailored to your needs. I offer a free 15 minute chat to get to know each other and see how I can help you before you make any decisions to book me.

I hope to hear from you soon, Helen.

Caring for you so you can care for your baby.
